if 2008 was mundane, slow and full of uncertainties, then 2009 is exciting, flashed in the speed of light and full of accomplishments.

its so hard for me to recall stuff from the beginning of the year, its seems so far away even though time passes so quickly this year.

- very hectic schedule. degree classes + 2 outstanding modules for term 1
-selected for resuscitation
-21st
-absurdly became a cover girl
-internship
-thursday evenings
-hong kong trip 1
-resuscitation exhibition
-one 15km and one half marathon
-deferred school
-working with osage
-nokia tvc
-surgery for ovary cysts
-hong kong trip 2

that's what i could think of for now.
haha.

2009-12-01T02:36:00.002+08:00

This is a 93 pound cyst. omg !! its is almost as heavy as me !

and this too.

and why all these ? cause i went to the gynae today and they spot an ovarian cyst. going to do a more precise scan tmr (or rather later) at 9.30am . that's omfg damn early !!!
eh. been google around. ok, the cyst i've seen on the screen today is not that small after all. haha. (but compare to that 93 pounds... its not even comparable)

but hey, its weird i'm not scare at all leh ! on the contrary, i'm excited to find out exactly how big is it.
i'm not even scare of the high possibility of having an operation to remove it. maybe the doc is just scaring me. okay, no needles, knifes or what so ever near me pls.

but actually cyst is a very common thing for women. but the big prob now is my period cycle sucks. i only have one real period this year (yes u didn't see wrongly, i had one when other women have 12), and even the last spotting was almost 6 months ago. but i don't wanna be infertile cause i love kids.
i still would love to fulfill my plan of having :
1 pure chinese baby girl who is as adorable as baby yunting
1 blue eyes baby girl/boy with chestnut brown hair
1 olive skin baby girl/boy with curly copper red hair !

as crazy as it might sound, i wanna give birth to all of them ! and of course they will have different daddy. hohohoho.

2009-11-17T02:35:00.002+08:00

i'm going to make a note here since i thought of it now.
REMIND ME TO GET ALL WONG KAR WAI'S FILM THE NEXT TIME I GO TO HONG KONG.
how the fuck could i forgot the other time. its so freaking impossible to get it here lar.
whheeee. in less then 2 months. (:

2009-11-15T20:12:00.002+08:00

my self proclaim 6 months holiday is no longer holiday anymore.
it is going to be fucking pack and fucking busy all the way into next year. how am i going to get back to school. LOL.

but all will be fucking exciting.
i'm fucking stress now.
stay tune for thurs.

2009-11-06T14:54:00.002+08:00

its scary how there's barely 2 months left till the end of 2009.
this year comes and go in a flash.
life will not proceed as how we plan nor would it go as how we think it will be.
so many unexpected-s.
hmm.
i love it now. but i need more spice. hahaa.
after next week perhaps everything would be different.
perhaps.
welcome, new exciting life !
i hope 2009 will end beautifully for me (:

2009-11-03T00:46:00.003+08:00

had an insane week.
assisted nicole for nokia's tvc. its a great experience but its totally crazy and tiring.

a lot of first times for me. although it really exhausted me inside out but i really really loves it ! it really amazed me how such film production works and this is only tvc !! imagine a real film !

the insane working hours ! but amazingly it didn't actually feels like that long. haha
tues,wed,thurs was sourcing, packing and fittings.
almost everyday is 10am to 12 midnight
fri, sat and sun was the actual days of shoot.
fri- 6.30am to 12 midnight ! (17.5 hrs !!!)
sat- 6.30am to 9.30pm
sun- 6.30am to 6pm

plus the sun burns, bruises (gotten a heart shaped one!), scratches and broken nails
nonetheless, i really enjoyed it.

another plus fact is the straight guys. its been god knows how long since i worked in an environment with so many str guys. i don't mean to sound desperate but pls understand my pathetic situation of being in environments of 90% girls and 9.9% gays for the past 4 yrs. LOL.

well, this week shall chiong for thursday evenings !!!

"roll video, roll camera, and ACTION !"
hee.

2009-10-18T02:02:00.006+08:00

当starbucks打烊啦
你不是累了想回家
怎么还等他
握紧的手机关了吧
他不会再打来啦
你却说想再呆一下

冰咖啡留给他
你的体贴不是办法
爱是两人的呀
看你在眼角擦
抿着嘴咬指甲
连哭泣都害怕
感情不要也罢

你说都是他
让你苦苦牵挂
等成一个笑话
你生气你委曲你泪在滑
却还是放不下
疼的很伟大

别再为了他
让你心乱如麻
像褪色的花
陪着你看商店铁门拉下
别哭了别等了
爱要学会潇洒

officially declare this as my favourite song.

a) have to stop being moody
b) have to drown herself with more work everyday
c) have to get her ass off and start running and swimming everyday
d) realize we really do have issues
e) never ice skate before.
f) this is so random.

2009-10-15T11:45:00.002+08:00

seriously i've got nothing to write abt. so drained writing that damn story out. LOL.
i haven't in a long long time wrote in such way. those were the days in secondary sch.... the last time i wrote smtg before this was last year feb and its like a mini poetry. anyw its in chinese. those who can read and above age 21, clink here
LOL.
chinese is really beautiful.

oh man. i really misses the days when i could just writes and read my whole day away, thru physics, amaths, chemistry, english classes. LOL. i'm either writing/reading/sleeping/cooking/eating in class. its funny how i can spent 2 years that way.

my new drinking clique. haha.

2009-09-30T23:27:00.003+08:00

so many things happened in a span of a few days. haha. hmm.

i officially deferred the last term of school. cause i suppose to be doing my graduating collection currently and grad in dec. but all the workloads are piling on me ! thursday evenings and all, so many opportunities coming up. actually if i can i'll just quit school. quite no point to continue. but nevermind, i've already paid the full sum of that damn school fees, so yea going back in april next year.

sometimes, i wonder where does all my courage came from.
but we only live once. i wanna work hard to get what i want.

sigh.

somehow, all my wishes are coming true one by one. its weird. i guess i'm just insecure.

was browsing through friendster. (yes it still exist. lol)

and i read through the testimonials the girls gave me. its hilarious but. i still wanna show it. haha.

HAHA. i found something unbelievable.

on my birthday this year, the girls bought me a wig and i actually wore it out.

okay, i'm going to post this first time ever online, so....

believe it or not this is yunting !!!

can u believe this was one day before my cover shoot for ish ?
totally different person man!! hahahaa. and it really does looks like you-know-who. HAHA. eww.
but this does means that i could go commercial too okay ! LOL.

taking a break from thesis writing session.

2009-09-06T16:45:00.001+08:00

sigh. its ironic that people see me as independent but the fact is i'm not. or perhaps not enough in my case. well, i guess i need to push myself harder.

i know doing this might make people dislike me or talk behind my back or whatsoever but i have my own set of aesthetic that i cannot compromise. seriously, i'm quite relieve that i can make this decision, thank god i have the courage. which means i have to buck up and prove to people that i can do it 100 x better. and yes i can.

well, here are some personal favs from last week's shoot. its on fb but still wanna post it here again. (((((:

Photographer: Sunny Lim
Photography Assistance: Brendan Z
Designer/Stylist: Yunting. L
Make Up Art: Xara
Hair Stylist: Jason
Models: Michael S, Andrea P from AVE

much much much thanks to the whole crew that make this shoot possible !!!!
and i love my bff who always take great images of my garments !!!!!
(:

2009-09-02T23:02:00.003+08:00

been busy. hk trip. thursday evenings. final collection. photoshoots.

did a lot of insane things that i will never try again- touching down only a mere 5 hrs before running a half marathon with two and a half hours of sleep. organizing a outdoor shoot with 12 outfits without proper plan.

and bad luck had dawned on me the last weekend. at a fucking right timing. firstly, i lost my phone on the cab on the way up to old school on saturday before the shoot. realized within 15 mins, skip the details and the conclusion is i lost it with all my contacts. damn. which is very smart cause the next day i've another photoshoot that i need to contact more people. one thing lead to another, the next day shoot is at punggol beach and the weather is freaking prefect when we reach, but after the models are done with their hair and makeup, it pours. non stop, and its just right after. okay, skipping all the grandmother fucking suay detailed story (with me enduring a one hour ritual with bloody chanting by people that are sandwiching me at a pathetic shelter), the shoot when smoothly with great shots and all. ok, if you think that i'm bloody suay enough. the next day, when i was telling rachel my bad weekend and drinking that fucking can of soy bean from the vending machine during break, the damn last mouthful, i felt something, i split it out and it was a, worm. !@##$%^**$%^$##@

--------------------

somehow. it kindda dawn on me how i'll be alone.

i need someone who can be wowed by Duchamp's readymades and its word games with me

i need someone who can appreciate and listen to John Cage's 4'33'' with me

i need someone who can and would love to watch hundreds of time of ChungKing express/In the Mood for Love with me

i need someone who could discuss Freud's discovery and compare it to Proust work with me

i need someone who can read TS Eliot's poetry to me just to make me happy

i need someone who can spend 2 hours every night experiencing Tan Dun's music with me

i need someone who can go gaga over works of Margiela/Rei Kawakubo/Yohji Yamamoto with me

i need someone who can (truly)understand what i call the smell of paper in good quality books and magazine

i need someone who can spend hours looking at Man Ray/Diane Arbus/August Sander/Nobuyoshi Araki's photography with me

i need someone who can recites tons of chinese classical poetries together with me

i need someone who can accompany me for some 10 miles run every weekend

i need someone who i could tear in front of while watching Schindler's List

i need someone who share the same wild thoughts of traveling to North Korea some day

i need someone who adores Karl Marx and Derrida as i am

i need someone who can come and watch Satantango(a 7.5hr film) this coming 27th at the National Museum with me.

i know its even more difficult to find this someone to a diamond on the floor. lol
the best solution is probably to clone myself.

2009-08-10T23:22:00.001+08:00

off~

2009-07-19T20:29:00.002+08:00

its been two weeks. and i'm fucking busy !!! this is crazy man. work, school, thursday evenings, exhibitions openings. and sickness. damn, why do i have to fall sick at this timing ???

anyw. this is the great thing abt researching menswear at work. they are soooo pretty. get me one for christmas plsss ! LOL. i want the first one from the left ! hahahaha.

i'm damn excited for thursday evenings !!! even though its giving me lots of headache, lots of tantrum fits, lots of lack of sleep.

slightly recharged.

2009-07-06T21:32:00.043+08:00

today is the first day of term 3. i can't believe my one week break had past ! and its definitely scary to think that its july now !!! oh god, half a year had just gone like that. i think this is the fastest half a year i had in my life ! like seriously. but i guess this is also a half a year that i had gain and experience the most for all my life.

first and second day of break was drinking and sentosa.

most of the pics are on fb and seriously i find no point blogging now.

happyhappy. i really have to admit i haven't been enjoying myself this much for a hell long time. and i really have to stop overeating and puking everything out when i'm damn hungry. LOL.

monday was muaythai, tues and wed interning, wed night was a small gathering with the girls. thurs was resuscitation's opening. its great! and thanks to all friends that came ! and the first meeting of thursday evenings too ! sat was queenstown and ikea with ser, got my new running shoes! and had ikea food !

ok. i realize i've been very not focus for the past one month. well. now breath in. and hang on there. i shall really focus on work work work ! 4 more weeks and internship will be over! thursday evenings will be damn exciting ! muay thai class, back on some serious running for half marathon, preparing for my final collection, and i want some partying now and then ! i shall bring some fun to my life now but not forgetting how to be damn focus. that superhuman yunting must hang on there. (:

2009-06-21T14:28:00.004+08:00

i dunno what happened but apparently fabbie really is keen on saying hello !!! LOL.
i know next week is submission week and i should work my ass off now. but but but. motivation is just not there. sigh. alright. after this post and mask i'll put fabbie to sleep. LOL. time to work hard.

i've make up my mind to grow my hair ! okay. not that long, somewhere to chin. so i've have to patiently wait for 3 months ! haha. went to my cousin's yesterday and apparently i refused to let him cut my hair short so he just do a trim that was easier then peeling apple from what he said. LOL. alright, people will see me often with my hair all tied up from now on.

and i hope this is what i can achieve in 3 months time. but i know it could never go to that thickness.

FABBIE SAYS HELLO

2009-06-19T20:31:00.060+08:00

i'm using fabbie to blog now !!!!!!!! hohohoho. fabbie pics are all on fb so i'm lazy to post here. LOL.

these 2 weeks are crazy. really. this is really the turning point of my life. suddenly realize lots of things. and i decide to step out of my shell. these 6 months i've been shelling myself up from the whole world. i don't even know what's happening to my friends around me. burying myself with work is not healthy, i know. and i know i'm a freaking workaholic and i suddenly felt really really exhausted. to a point that i cannot sit down and do work anymore. i will just stare and stone. i know i'm not human to do all these things to myself, but i really really wanna be successful, but at this point of time i really really feel damn exhausted, stress, emotional, whatever.

less then one week to the end of the sem. i know i've give up on quite an amt of things. but its very draining to do internship and school at the same time. and also these emotional fits. its been affecting me quite a lot. the sudden depression, these and that. the deprive of sleep causes me to have no appetite which means barely a meal a day. lets just say i'm like a part time immortal. no sleep no food. oh. the korean food that day is like one of my most rare normal full meal. and i just survive on coffee. and i seriously dunno what i'm thinking now. it must be those lack of sleep and love.

people keep making bad decisions these days.

HELLO

2009-06-14T12:25:00.002+08:00

alright. i'm not dead yet. just that my 3.5years old ibook is dead on me. well i'm still on a loan windows com now. oh my, so weird typing in this, nvm my new macbook pro is arriving in a few days time ! hohohoho. many many many thanks to that 2 aunties that help me analysis the best bargains and instructed this IT noob here step by step how to order. LOL. macdonalds outing with the macs gang soon. yay !

ok, enough of the high-ness. i seriously had enough yesterday. omg. i can't believe i did all those crap again. this time is in front of so many strangers. opps. but i kindda feel relieve now. like i let a lot of things out, phew, stress from sch and work and all. shld do this more often. less then 2 weeks to go before it marks the end of this sem. no sleep no going out, just work and school for the 2 weeks. i hope i can survive !
and i wanna go sentosa, ktv and parrty during my one week break ! hohoho. ppl pls plan. i need more stress relieve.

2009-04-28T12:07:00.001+08:00

i so want to join this ! anyone ? could try the sprint one first rather then the olympic one. if i join then i would so wanna get a bike too ! hahaha.

2009-04-24T00:53:00.002+08:00

you know, i realize these few months, i've grown up so much, the things i've learnt and all. i've come to a point where i'm looking at the world at a different perspective. pls pls pls. i'm gonna be successful and i will. :)

hmm. i'm in a dilemma, shld i or shld i not ? actually i don't like the idea of putting myself in prints. but i do enjoy the process of a shoot. i don't even consider it as really modeling but rather as an object of a shoot. to me, every shoot i do is like a form of art, its like forming a world of my own, imagining myself as someone else, get stuck in that spiral of emotion truck.
shld i really try to use it as a platform to assist my career ? hmm...

rantingggggs

2009-04-22T09:50:00.002+08:00

alright, as u can see i want to RANT again. seriously, i dunno what's the problem with the lecturers in that freaking school. omg. i couldn't stand it. i've been terrorize by them 2 days in a row. that freaky man i still can stand it, actually quite immense to it alr, i don't mind if u use all ur weird ways to make me speak up but i hate ppl to insult me, insult my work or putting the blame of my fuck up attitude on my previous sch.

as for the other bitch, i usually don't blow my top unless someone really step on my tail, oh well, u can insult/ scold/shout at other student for all i care since they don't fight back. but do not think that u could do that to me too. think that i don't have any respect for you? oh, u didn't give us any basic respect as a human being in the first place. why shld i give you any too?
so what if i went out of the class for 15mins? its really because i could not stand the sound that the metal is producing so i went out for drink. pls ! this is a private school, we are taking a degree course, and you actually say who ever that wants to go out need to ask u for permission even going to the toilet? crazy bitch. so you wanted to chase me out of the class? HAHA. no, you can't.

She screamed at me and ask me to get out of the class you know ! what rights do she have? so i simply told her, "i believe i pay for the school fees and i have THE RIGHTS to stay in this class ! " LOL. and i just continue to do my own work. anyway, i don't need her help.

call me stubborn, bad attitude, rude, arrogant or what so ever. i know my abilities and i can decide on what i want to do. get off my neck and don't climb up on my head. I WILL BITE.

hmm

2009-04-18T18:04:00.002+08:00

i'm really getting bored of blogging. my life is borrrrrring... yet it seems interesting to others... duhhh.

eh. i got the magazine from sunny yesterday. haha. its kindda scary to be holding it in public. and there's the other day when i walked into times without knowing that its published, and when i passed by the god damn big face, i'm like stunned and literally ran off. thank god its not a mainstream magazine that sells everywhere, otherwise i will like die everytime i walk out of the house.

but seriously, i really love the spread. its really really well taken and its like one of the best i've seen in local magazine (i know i seldom read local mag but well, all those shoots in the mainstream ones are like puke.) well, let the work speaks for itself.. (:

reenergize

2009-03-31T11:38:00.006+08:00

yay. i'm still alive ! hohoho. recharged for like 3 days and omg it felt so nice to sleep and 2 out of 3 i just felt asleep while just lying on the bed with everything not switch off. haha.

and why was it so? cause i practically didn't sleep for 2 weeks straight. i'm not kidding. its only 2-3 hrs of sleep per day with some nights no sleep at all. i'm like walking skeleton even joe ask me to go home to rest after one of the submission. BUT HOW THE HELL CAN I REST WITH THE AMOUNT OF WORKLOAD ! AND WHY AM I ALWAYS THE ONE WITH THIS KINDDA FUCK UP SCHEDULE !! OMG. and i hate it when people tell me we all are tired and we all have 24 hrs. pls lah, put yourself in my shoes, i've got literally more then twice as much workload as the rest of the BA students. i've got 2 modules more then them plus resuscitation which means 3 outfits more.

last wed, thurs and friday was ultimate shiokness. i think i live thru these 3 days as 1 day. LOL. on wed, i reach school at 10.45am, rush thru sewing for my garment, lesson at 2.20pm plus presentation, was doing merchandising ppt and going in and out of the room to meet my other group mates while the rest are presenting, haha, this is how lack of time i am. fitting at 5pm and thank goodness that i'm the first and i've got no problem with the fit or what so ever. so i could do my guerilla store grp project's illustration while the others are fitting. suppose to have group meeting after their fitting but we decide to do project thru the night at my hse in the end, so the rest drag me to eat dinner(as i only had milo and half energy bar the whole day) before i rushed to central starbucks to collect my resuscitation dr marten boots. reach home at ard 9.15pm. bath and all and rush down to bring the 3 girls up. did our group projects thru the night till 6plus in the morning and they couldn't take it so they went home and sleep and i quickly rush thru my ppt for my merchandising presentation that's suppose to be at 10am before i napped for 1 hr. Cabbed down to school with my big luggage bag, finish presentation at 10.50am. rushed to sewing room to consult joe abt my garment. did some sewing before rachel came and we went to have lunch and grp prj again from 2pm to 8.30pm. reach home ard 9plus. ate dinner and all and its 10pm. realizing i still got tons of stuff to do ( as i'm doing layout for the magazine and our presentation is at 2.20pm the next day), rachel cabbed down to my hse and help me out with some of the layout. we did till ard 5am and she went home. by then i'm damn tired and i wanted to nap for an hour before continuing the bites and pieces thats left. BUT ! i overslept and woke up at 9.20am ! like omg ! i've got the remaining work not done and i suppose to have merchandising exam at 10am which i haven't read thru too and this project got to be printed and bind before going to lesson at 2.20pm. LOL.
so i cabbed down to school, pass my laptop to rachel for them to do the remaining work first and i rushed to take my exam which i anyhow do and finished it in less then 30 mins. the moment i went out of the room and called them, i received bad news. someone tripped on the fucking charger of my laptop and the cable broke !!! and my laptop cannot survive without charger cos the batt is dead. but luckily we've got most of the stuff in rachel's thumbdrive and bits and pieces of the remaining in the other 2 girls'. like so drama. but end up we manage to finish printing binding and presenting ! HAHA.
right after the class end i got this freaking news, not actually news but yar. which causes drama for the next 2 days. well, its not my business and i shall not be involve in any bits.
so after sch, i still got to go town to get a new charger for my laptop or else it cannot work at all. here goes my 152 bucks for nothing. suay.

my outfit made from calvin klein bedsheet. now i suddenly realize the model is wearing calvin klein from top to bottom cos she's wearing my ck shoes too ! haha.

and yesterday i went for a swim ! like finally. and i hit 13' 54'' for 10 laps ! hohoho. hopefully with training i can manage to get in singapore biathlon next year.
anyw, its a little weird that i'm not rushing here and there now. i went to the library and borrowed tons of books ! and its all new books... hee... its like you can never imagine you can get all these books in toa payoh library... hee...

OH YA ! PASSION RUN ANYONE ? today's the last day of early bird offer. i joined 15k ...

birthday was enjoyable. good korean food, great ktv and best company. i prefer spending time with close friends rather then big party.

well, i dun wanna upload the video to humiliate ourselves, so here are a series of snapshot of some of the funny stuff. look at how hard ql is laughing ! haha.

actually i said i don't fancy cakes right. and i don't even know what's my favourite cake till that day. HAHA. that cake in the photo is my favourite cake. B bakery's chocolate fudge. nothing fanciful and i didn't realize how much i missed eating it. those were the days... post activity after fabric sourcing. Sunny knows me the best, seriously i'm really touch.
and not forgetting my besties too. the surprise at night and the wig ! haha. try spotting me in the photos above !

okay, i'm pretty tired. fabric met submission on monday. yucks.

2009-02-28T22:52:00.005+08:00

resuscitation's submission deadline is extended by 2 weeks... which means, i can have a bit of free time these 2 days. BUT. its kindda yucky that i'm having 2 major submission in a week. puke*

looking at my schedule, i think i'm fucking dead. and i run out of energy to stay awake. can you believe that i slept 12 hrs straight yesterday !!! well, to reclaim my 4 hrs sleep a day during the week days. and i'm oh so glad that i finally can get my haircut tmr.

2009-02-23T23:52:00.004+08:00

ps. anyone wanna watch the reader with me ? btw, kate winslet just won best actress for her role in it.

2009-02-18T22:35:00.002+08:00

sigh. i've been having this sleepy mode all week. argh argh argh. compare to last term, i think i've been quite slack now. i dunno what's the problem. is it not enough food (that causes me to be sleepy) or no specific target to achieve to make me concentrate more? or simply not enough work load to screw me up more. HAHA. or is it because i've start to go out ONCE a week. pathetic me right? i only go meet up with my besties once a week. and its not every week. out of 7 days i only got one day off and the rest is 24/7 work, which is consider much much better then last term cause i work 24/7 last term. how did i survive ?

i've got to produce one outfit in 9 days (drafting, toile and actual), which is a total of 5 outfits in 2 months, portfolio class which consist of 4 collections to do (38 outfits), CAD class, academic research class (essay and grp presentation), fashion communication class (test and grp presentation). on top of that i still worked for a few weeks (part time job as tele-marketer for a few hrs) and a half marathon to run just 3 days before my fashion show. all in 10 weeks time. that's last term. call me super-human. anyone wanna try ? HAHA. and i think i never get to go anywhere except my house, school, work place and fabric place. only went out for a few hrs once for wj birthday. that's that's.

for now. i've got to complete my resuscitation outfits by 2nd march. halfway thru the 2nd. a thousand plus word essay and 8 illustrations by friday, shop report by next monday, mid term exam for merchandising tmr morning and resuscitation meeting at 9pm tmr night. like wtf. there's actually more. but that's the later part. these are the schedule for this and next week. FFFFFFFFFFF.

OH. and yesterday night or rather today morning when i'm half way doing my resuscitation outfit and halfway dozing off, (and as u guys know, i can dream the moment i close my eyes), jonathan keep appearing in my dream. damn freaky lar. its like i do work for 20 mins then i doze off for 15mins, this repeats for like 3 or 4 times until i'm sick and tired of jonathan appearing. its like telling me that i've got to wake up for the work. damn damn scary. i've got to pray not to have any lecturer dropping by later when i sleep. but well, i don't think i will get to sleep later. hmm. change of mind. i think i will sleep for 2hrs first. haha.

and lastly, guys are bastard. i learnt of something today that is damn drama damn damn drama. i'm really stupid of not having to realizing it earlier.
ps. don't worry, its not something that's concern about me.

2009-02-12T04:45:00.004+08:00

arrrgh. guess what. its 4.45am and i'm doing some stupid assignment by fashion merchandising. yawns. well, class is at 9.30am and i just started doing. but like what i said, its very stupid. do i have time for a slight nap first ? haha.

and omg. i just realize Kris Van Assche(creative director for dior homme) is f**king good looking.

he's actually better looking then christopher bailey(creative director of burberry). finally more good looking fashion designers.

talented, good looking, rich and smart. pls tell me they are not gay. LOL.

2009-02-05T22:55:00.004+08:00

50 one line sketch due tmr and i'm still stuck at 6. and i'm feeling sleepy. yawns. i shall sleep first. haha. my lazy mode is turned on again. how sad. and resuscitation's first outfit is due on sunday. thank goodness i alr finish the jacket. hahahaha.

i've been tying up my hair lately cause my hair had grown out of shape. don't i look insanely different tying and without tying hair?

and omg, i cleared my room today. i've found a new place for my babies to live in, much of them are covered with dust(the 2006's one) and i have to clean them. but sadly i guess the new space would fill up very soon.
did i mention i bought 2 books from kino the other day? and its damn cheap. ard 20 bucks each. one is on 20th century photography and another on contemporary artists. sigh. how i wish i have damn lots of money to buy whatever books i fancy. oh, and bishan library is love ! there's so many freaking new books there ! hohoho. freaking freaking new one lo.

2009-02-02T02:00:00.000+08:00

sigh.

i'm in a dilemma of choosing which race to join.

adidas sundown or raw duathlon ?

i'm probably joining adidas but. they only have either 10km, marathon or ultra marathon. so stupid lo. i want half marathon !
so 10km or marathon?? ahh.

and 10km is freaking ex 40bucks. i rather join full for 60bucks. shall i or shall i not?

and i wanna take up courses too. either muay thai or opera.

was asking miss chong, and she said muay thai she dun mind, opera no but yoga the best. HAHAHAA.

so if she accompany to muay thai then i accompany her to yoga.

anyone wanna join us ?

ql and zm: no, i didn't made that up.

According to Sigmund Freud, overvaluation of clothing as a substitute is a form of male defense against female castration. The fetish, which can take the form of any material object, is very often an article of clothing, functions as a substitute for the missing maternal penis. In one of his earliest discussions on fetishism, he also described the case history of a male clothes fetishist for whom “all interest in women was displaced onto clothes”.

And certainly fabric acts to conceal and cover objects and persons while, at the same time, disclosing them, hinting their presence. Perhaps all material desire find their drive in fetishism, but certainly the erotic of fashion. In Man Ray’s photograph, The Enigma of Isadore Ducasse (1920), it illustrates fabric’s ambiguity by showing an unclearly recognizable object or objects, which is enveloped in a rough fabric and tied up with a rope. The wrapping gave the object a certain mystery and seductiveness.

Man Ray, who was heavily involved in the Dada movement, created art pieces that depict fetishism. He photographed Marcel Duchamp dragged as Rrose Selavy, and version of these photos was mounted on a Rigaud perfume as part of the packaging in a playful reference to beautiful Helen of Troy. This gesture manifested a typical Dada delight and yet ironic scorn for mass culture. Dada was not art, it was “anti art”, for everything that art stood for it represented the opposite. Their main intention was to destroy traditional culture and aesthetics of art through their rejection of it.

Therefore, my dress aims to further discuss the bond of fetishism, fabric and art. By wrapping the body with denim and tying it with a rope, showing some distortion of the human body itself, thus further extending the ambiguity of the female body and challenge the traditional aesthetic of dressing and contouring the women body.

The Enigma of Isadore Ducasse:

Rrose Selavy:

collage i made that derive from the concept. and in term influence how i design the dress.

i'm loving 2009 !

i finally could sleep a bit more

2009-01-25T01:40:00.002+08:00

2 deadline down. another one to go for this month.
this week was kindda yucky. okay, my wrong, shouldn't have left everything till the last minute. and my problem of not able to wake up at the middle of the night was solved ! by asking people to call me at 2.30s before they sleep. hahaha.

today was resuscitation's submission. hohoho. i managed to kindda finish everything. LOL. went there together with sunny. aimei and josiah was there too. and the four of us placed our work at the same table (the lasalle diploma grad's table we called), like so bad. hahahaha. the funny thing was, when i'm presenting my concept to jonathan, this another guy asked so how does it got to do with fashion(my concept is eros and thanatos which is a theory by sigmund freud concerning life instinct and death drive which in turn linked to war), jonathan said something like, oh is very her what, the war and freud thing. LOL ! i can't believe he still remember i love to do topics on war and freud's theory ! hahahaha. the whole presentation just so resemble his design studio class, oh my how i misses the days in lasalle.

ps. omg, i fall asleep half way last night while waiting for the photos to upload. grrrr....

shitty mess

2009-01-19T13:55:00.003+08:00

things are not going very smoothly for me for the past few days.
i'm in a too relax mode,
not being able to wake up in the middle of the night by my phone alarm.
i'm getting slow in my work,
i'm screaming i've got not enough time but the fact is i slack my time off.
i'm skipping school today.
the bank charged me annual fee to my debit card. damn.
i've got enough of my dad calling me a useless person ten thousand times a day.
i'm not working hard enough.
i've been sleeping too much.
the first prompt on the title is 3 more months to 3 years old. which reminds me of the guilt of not spending a proper 3 years anniversary with him.
basically, i'm kindda emo.

2009-01-16T10:25:00.007+08:00

well, this week was a bit crazier then last week. a bit more fun. in term of work lar. i crazily went to discharge my fabric and it took a freaking 11 hrs. omg right. 4m of denim. from 2am to 1pm. made me so afraid to sleep, cos i have to keep stirring it. anyw, i love the outcome. this very dirttyish arty feel. ha.

and that evening i still went to meet the girls(and guys) for dinner and coffee.

-----------------------------
i'm quite amused by the fact how people could change so fast within a span of a month? hahahahaha... and i'm quite glad that my life is pretty mundane and dramaless. LOL. and its turning from taiwan ou xiang ju to those hokkien drama... funny lo. can i just switch channel? hahahaha... childish little kids.
for a moment i still thought maybe i should try accepting the idea of dating same age/younger guys (i only like/date older guys), looking at it now, i think forget it, i could never get along with them. kids are still kids. GROW UP pls.

to think of it now. i'm so glad i had a good ex bf.

and my girls are still more cultured, good looking, and more brain (like obviously)

2009-01-09T01:53:00.002+08:00

well, school had started and its not as hectic as last term ! weeeewww... but i have class everyday from monday to friday. all are half day classes. :(((

but i'm damn excited with all the coming projects and all. there's this one seam dress that we have to do that i think is really cool. and the resuscitation project too. and and i'm doing tons of research this whole week, which is my favourite. haha. lots and lots of readings... oh, and i bought tank magazine the other day ! its their 10th anniversary special, super worth it i tell you. i love the shoots, the articles and the paper ! damn cool. and today i borrowed three great books from tpy library. one is on journals and inspiration, another one is on fashion illustration by fashion designer and the last one is on modern arts. and they are all super new books ! hahaha !

collage the i did the other day. its damn cool how fetishism is related to so many things. and Freud is like becoming such a huge part of my life now. haha.

recaps of 2008

2009-01-03T14:51:00.002+08:00

although the number 8 supposed to be an auspicious number, but i think the year 2008 was not one for most of us/ for the world.

for me, it started out fine. school and all. but i started to think a lot about my future and fashion. do i really love fashion and how am i going to survive after graduate. you know, such stuff. and the more i think, the more i started to loathe the fashion industry, like how superficial it is. the first four months of the year past very fast. and then here comes the scary part. i rotted at home for 5 months. at first, i thought i would continue my degree at lasalle, that's why i didn't went to look for a job (school starts during july). and then things turn out that i decide to join raffles and school only start during october. thats why i got so much time at home. ha. but i think i really got a phobia of staying at home doing nothing cos i really cannot start it now although i only started at home for barely 5 days in total this hol?

during june. my grandpa passed away, its the first time in my life that i'm standing so close to death. and because of it i did a lot of thinking about life. and its not the only death that i saw last year. there's so many death happened ard... i hope there's none this year.

and is it because i spent too much time at home that i realize so many things happened around the world during my 5 months break.
- Sichuan earthquake
-Burma's Cyclone Nargis
- Russia-Georgia war
-Summer olympic in Beijing
-China tainted milk scandal
-US election
-the economic meltdown
-Mumbai terrorism

most of them are like so devastating. 2008 is such a bad bad year.

and during october, i started school which marks the beginning of my hectic life. 2 months past just like that and the next thing i know is my fashion show. another breakthrough of the year was that i marked my 3 years relationship to an end. which coincidentally, is at a time when tons of people are having breakups too. but mine was nothing drama. haha.

so i hope 2009 is a great year with great things happening. it will be indeed hectic, with all the 21s and all. and it would be the last year of my student life before entering the big big world of superficials.

oh man. its already one day through 2009
yesterday was crazy man. what a way to spend my first few hrs of 2009. hahaha.

don't laugh at me, i know exactly what happened. and thank you arvin for being such a great host, felt so bad for making such a mess at his house although i'm not the one that puked everywhere. wahhahahaa.

and i'm so happy that i didn't puke !! haaa... ohh. i still can list out what i did by memory la! i, laughed and cried out loud 3 times, crawled around like Sadako , i'm hungry and ql and arvin refused to let me into the kitchen to cook maggie mee, can still finish singing the whole of ABC song, run on the virtual treadmill for 30mins (which means running on the spot, okayy, i know this is really funny but the moment i finish running i become sober, and my legs ache like shit now), liquified ql and lao on photoshop.
so strictly speaking, i'm not drunk. better that those that knocked out right.

but all in all its quite fun. i still sucks at alcohol but i have a feeling i improved already! hahahaha.

my oh my.

2009 shall be a great year ahead. a whole new life.

and like what ser said, a year of parrrrrtyiiing !

2008-12-22T01:35:00.010+08:00

well, lets start from saturday. went to the resuscitation workshop with sunny in the afternoon first, basically its just a briefing and i guess we'll have lots of fun with the used material and stuff for the days to come... afterwhich, meet up with zm and ser at vivocity and did shopping.

candy shop at central. so sugarlicious. haha. i'm glad i've grown out of the pink overkill yunting stage... hahahhaaha ! but i can't help to keep my camera snapping at all these stuff !

so today, was shopping again with my mum, sis, cousins and aunts. of cause nothing for me, but was happily choosing clothes for my little sis and little cousins for say 3 hrs? at esprit.

i've got to show this... freaky legs ! her blood veins all shooting out when its damn damn cold. purple legs freak... can't really see in the photos but in real life its damn disgusting.

pretty little girl... how i hope my daughter will be like her, but with some second thoughts, its kindda scary

three little ones grinding sesame. somehow reminds me of little nyonya... hahahaha...

i tried combing(and spraying) my hair back. haha. does it look like me ??? hahaha. and its just that i realize my face shape changed ! yay ! to the better of cause. its not as flat and big as last time but my forehead still very flat though, and my nose too.... i will definitely do a nose job if i got the money one day. hahahaha.

but i still got to conclude that i look better with my hair now. hee.

2008-12-20T02:31:00.004+08:00

its so late and i'm still not sleeping. omg and i haven't start my essay yet. i'm so going to die lar.

today's a slack day. woke up at almost 12, went swimming !!! like finally... its been almost 3 months i guess. and i hit my best record, oh yes ! 14 30 for 10 laps. hohohoho. but there's no sun while i swam... so sad... i thought i could get a bit of tan. the mad thing was, the moment i step out of the shower, mister sun came out, like what the hell. ha.

planning shoot is such a headache. so many problems here and there. sigh. but i really love the feeling of satisfaction after a shoot...

i'm damn inspired by all these shoots... sigh....

some photos from the fashion show...

i must complain that my hair look freaking bad that day cos i don't have a freaking hair dryer with me to blow my fringe. argh.

oh well. its very very late now and i''m going to sleep.

good nights.

2008-12-16T22:54:00.002+08:00

actually i'm quite puzzled by the amount of people not interested in doing photoshoot in my school now. why don't they realize the importance of it? sigh.
not my business anyway. haha.

i'm in a dilemma of deciding which model to use for photoshoot. been calling agencies these 2 days... people, give me some suggestion...
taylor or ashley ?

i've never seen taylor before but i like his look. BUT he's quite short. (btw, i need really small size model to fit my pants!) and i dunno when is he going back, so if wanna book him must organize the shoot fast. i dunno will he look good in my garment too. but apparently he shot for costume national and redken before.

ashley's one of my model during the show and he fits my garment really well, be it look or size. i love his look. he's local so timing and all not a problem. he's from mannequin so he's more expensive then taylor.

howhowhow?

btw, ashley is much much much more good looking in real life, i think the photos didn't do him justice. haha.

2008-12-15T19:02:00.004+08:00

yesterday was shopppppppping day !

the following is the pic of me before and after make up. not a lot of make up, just my simple routine of concealer, blusher, few strokes of mascara and a bit of lip gloss. and ta da. haha. actually my face is really bloated in the pic.

went to junction 8 at noon with my family to have lunch first. and i'm very amazed by myself. i really get a shock of my life lar. haha. but anyw, went to town with mum and sis next. which spells mango sales ! haha.

i bought the first cardigan. its not very nice in the pic but its so so so me !

2008-12-12T20:51:00.005+08:00

well, i'm freeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and i feel so weird now that my pace has slow down. is like even my walking pace i'm not use to it. what has rdi made me become. haha. and today is only the first day i walk out of my house since the show on wed.

but i'm not going to waste this 3 weeks hols like i waste my 5 months', haha. but anyw, i still have a presentation and a essay to finish. sigh. but i'm going to start my research for my degree collection too and the RESUSCITATION project by woods & woods. its going to be so fun lar. i love research ! oh, and plan photoshoot for the oedipus collection too !

FD7.1- firstly, this is my blog and i have the freedom to voice out what i felt. secondly, i didn't specify who are the "they", so don't jump into conclusion. thirdly, i didn't specify who was the lecturer, isn't that enough respect? if she want me to show respect to her, then did she show any respect to me (or the others that loathed the music as well) by doing the action she did ? lastly, i don't want any bad blood between me and whoever this is( and if you have the gut, pls identify yourself or just simply come and speak to me about your dissatisfaction), and i didn't mean to do any personal attack through this post, so anyone that felt displease with this post is to my regrets.

i want to rannnnnnnt !
i'm in class right now and had been listening to some freaking canto pop and chinese pop song for the past 3 hrs played aloud by the lecturer. arghhhhh.... i want to die lo.

i seriously cannot stand any pop songs now except in ktv. sucha torture. and i seriously never hear before any of the songs. kns. like some pasar malam. how to have inspiration in such class ! no wonder they always produce sucky designs. arghhhhhhhhh....

andand. i'm angry with my earpiece because only one side of it is long enough for me to listen in my laptop. and the funny thing is i'm listening to this audio book about civilization and Buddhism from one ear and trash songs from another ear. help me help me help me !

poooof.

2008-11-13T13:57:00.007+08:00

i'm loving big yellow taxi (listen to my playlist). and i'm so addicted to Joni Mitchell. hee. (btw, she's this folk singer from the 60s and still currently releasing album till this date. but i secretly still prefer her early works and those in the early 90s).

another week had past. yucks. 5 more weeks to go. 3 pants and 1 jacket toile down. and i've been slack this week. been sleeping a lot... haha. the least amount is only 5 hrs. how how.

today was such a long day, school from 10am to 7.30pm. been drafting the whole day meaning i'm standing the whole day too which causes my sore legs now plus i just ran 6km yesterday. haha. and after school, i meet dear for dinner at city hall and we went out of pan, its yummy. (((:
and after my very full dinner, we went to the cd shop and then to mac. i wanna get a lipsticks but i dunno which colour to choose between. and i wanna get a new mascara too. and my concealer is becoming a teeny bit dark on me cos i become fairer(due to not been swimming), is either i get a new concealer or i go tan ! haha.

and fuck man, my boobs had become fucking small... and can they take away fats from the lower part of my body instead of my upper???? !

oh well. i'm damn tired.
gdnight.

i love my bouncy short hair

oh, and did i mention jonathan went back to raffles to teach? (ok, its not right to use back cos he didn't teach here before but studied here before) and a lecturer told me jonathan left lasalle because of some problems with the moe? hmm. but anyw, i don't have his class this term but i saw him the other day, and he remembered me ! haha, how can he forget me, sunny and corrine the noisiest ppl in class. haha. how i misses those days in lasalle lar.

paris fashion week part I

2008-10-03T15:03:00.006+08:00

bwah. paris fashion week is not as exciting i expect. but its still better then the others i guess.

Gareth Pugh moved from london to paris. and i think his collection is not as exciting as his previous, but it seems more wearable now. make up was cool. but all in all i'm still not into him, haha. interesting to look at but wearing it is a no-no, or maybe that couple of pants, yes?

i love this pants ! its the first time we saw so much wearable stuff in his collection !

cool pants !! i'll go bang the wall if i have to do such pants one day. hahaha.

next...

Ann Demeulemeester

awww... its one of my favourite collection. heee...

i love those shoes !!! especially this. it sure will be the hottest thing next spring.

black as night.

2008-09-30T11:40:00.000+08:00

some photos from a shoot i did with sunny a few weeks ago.

photography by sunny, make up and modeled by me.
short sleeve jacket by sunny, cotton long skirt and cotton twill dress by me.

2008-09-23T23:40:00.007+08:00

i almost die from food poisoning yesterday lar. dear got the virus too.
haha. damn, i'm not going to eat hawker center's oyster anymore.

anyw, my schedule is out. freaking long hours.... but at least morning classes starts at 10am, meaning i could at least sleep till 8.45am. i hope i can survive till the fashion show in dec. sigh.

and i went back lasalle to get my diploma cert. i'm lucky that i could get it back, sunny and corrine didn't course of the supposed unreturn library books. duh. lasalle is as still as rubbish as ever.

2008-09-19T01:02:00.005+08:00

while searching for my comb a few days back, i found all these, covered in dust. ha. thus i cleaned them and they are on my table now

left to right: napfa best in sit up 2003, cross country 2004 9th, sports day 2004 1500m 2nd.
oh, i remembered napfa's level best's award was getting bad to worst every year, in 2002 i got a $20 voucher for best in sit up, 2003 was the medal above, and 2004 was this pathetic badge below (with my name, class and result written in marker on the plastic!) i wonder if they still have such award in beatty now.

napfa best in sit up and 2.4km run 2004.
such impractical badges, its like you will lost it no matter where u put. so, i placed my 2 pathetic badges inside the "cup" of my trophy. haha.

i'm going to look at them everyday to motivate me on running. haha. i misses secondary school days. sigh.
sucha random post.

New York Fashion Week

2008-09-13T11:46:00.011+08:00

Ranting session

2008-09-11T11:29:00.002+08:00

Yun Ting is amused by the fact that lasalle actually called and ask why had she not been attending BA classes when she didn't even sign up or pay the school fees !

oh my, i have to rant about this. they still argue with me that i ticked the "continue BA" column on the supposed to be survey form kindda thingy at the end of last sem. when firstly, they sent a letter to me offering the scholarship thingy but stated if i don't reply means that they will not include me in the class. secondly, i did not pay any school fee or sign/receive any confirmation letter that state i am included in the BA class. and thirdly, they actually allow student to go to class without paying school fees and its one month plus since the sem start when they finally realize there's a missing student.

wahhahahahahaha....

and the person that called me still want to argue with me to make a trip down to lasalle to cancel my place in BA. ridiculous lar. but i still have to go down to collect my diploma though.

new hair !

2008-09-10T12:26:00.010+08:00

finally finally, i manage to get my hair cut.
sigh. but i'm broke.....

sentosa !

2008-09-07T00:15:00.001+08:00

2008-09-04T10:51:00.007+08:00

~~i'm going to get my hair cut in an hour's time. yippee... like finally my fringe had grown long enough to touch my eyebrow. i misses my bangs so much la !~~

anyw, nike+ human race was not very great on sunday. first it was the rain (but stopped before the run, but hey, rain always causes bad ache on my knee !), next it was the congestion !!! argh.... their organization is damn bad lar. i hated the routes. its damn squeezy. its like we run stop run stop throughout to pass the congestion. but this is the first year they are organizing, so i shall not blame them.

it causes a quite bad timing.

i swear i'm gonna train to knock that extra 12 mins down.

but still its quite cool, i'm the 161141st runner in the world ! out of a million. haha.

i shall not post any photo of us before run cos we looked fugly. haha.

anyw, during the race, me and ql saw our eye candy again. which we talked quite a lot about during and before the race day with sunny and it turned out to be one of the most hilarious conversation.

he's the first one.... but i think this pic he damn cannot make it.
i'll post a more shuai one.

shuai right??? me and ql think he's shuai but sunny dun think so eh. but sunny say he might be gay !! eww. why all gd looking guys must be gay??? (sunny not counted !! haha)

but anyway, he's ben pulham. a professional triathlete. he's the trainer during nike+ training runs.

nike huan ying ni ?
haha.

3 more months to 3 yrs old !

2008-08-29T16:13:00.004+08:00

Happy 33rd monthsary to my dear !

---------------------------------------------

i wanna get a new trainer.... the 2 pairs that i'm currently wearing had been with me for ages. and for long distance i prefer my adidas climax cos its lighter weight but i think it's going to die soon. haha.

adidas?

or nike?

i kindda like the nike zoom victory +, plus if i get the nike plus sportsband i could put the sensor straight in my shoes rather then get another holder... hmmm....

but i like adidas cause of its light weight......

guess i should go out and do some shoe research tmr....

Singapore Bay Run 2008 !

2008-08-26T12:59:00.011+08:00

6.45am on the train with dear...

its damn bloody crowded ! and we have to cross the muddy grass patch to get 100plus and banana and collect our goodie bag. arggh... the shoe that i'm wearing is Adidas climax therefore a lot of mud went into my shoes.... which i had to endure for like 6 hours before i reach home ! (because i didn't bring any slippers with me).

anyway, 35.43 for 6km ! there's freaking lots of family and little kids that join the 6km and they are practically strolling la. we have to run like a snake to get through the crowd.... i swear i will never join "fun run" again. haha.

at the starting point with ql...

see, they even brought such young baby !

after the run, we walked to clarke quay to collect our nike human race goodie bag. its bloody long queue i tell you, worst then the hello kitty craze i think... luckily we saw janice queueing and she let us join the queue ! which actually was her friend that start queueing from 9.15am !(collection starts at 10am) imagine it took us 1.5hr when we alr cut queue ! ( and my poor dear have to wait for us for 1.5hr too)

my nike race tee ! look at the number ! very nice number right, it actually nearly match my i/c number ! haha.

can't wait till sunday ! hope it doesn't rain =x

2008-08-21T11:50:00.000+08:00

well, these few days were quite fulfilling ones. i finally get my butt off my house and pack some activities into my days. haha.

tuesday was first to RDI to submit some stuff before meeting zhimin for some shopping and eating !
can't stop eating with zhimin ard ! haha.

wednesday was gym session with qilin before she went for tuition for my sis. and evening was my turn off to work.

today was fabric sourcing at textile center and arab street, and i'm happy that i found really gorgeous fabric that i like ! hee. afterwhich i went to esplanade library to borrow dvds and cds. am currently listening to John Adam's (btw, he's a contemporary classical music composer).

tmr 10am is semi final between Li Jia Wei and Zhang Yining ! i'm so going to wake up early to watch ! it's a pity i'm going to miss the finals and the bronze match due to work... ): but there's always reruns...

some random thoughts

2008-08-18T01:09:00.007+08:00

seriously, i don't know what to write. my life had become very very very (x100 times) mundane.
day in day out for 4 months in a row was, sleep, eat, watch tv, watch youtube, reading, running, fetching sis from school, sometimes go out with friends, sometimes go out with dear. i don't know if i can adapt back to normal (hectic) life again.

sigh.

although life was mundane these few months, there's plenty of changes and decisions made. well, i had totally gave up hope in lasalle and decided to switch to raffles design institute for my Bachelor. its not a very rough decision, but quite a last minute one. cos i've been skeptical whether to continue in lasalle until i've seen the Fashion Show of the BAs and some unpleasant incident with the lecturer, before i came with the decision. i don't wanna just spend another year doing a fashion show, get a degree and learn nothing much. Going to RDI means needing to brush up a lot on my technical skills, but i'm sure i will learn a lot in the technical aspect.

and all these meaning there's a price to be paid too. on top of my 1 year bachelor course (which will commence officially in January 2009), i've gotta take a 3 months bridging course which includes a 5 outfits mini collection fashion show by end of dec. stressful i know, but if i'm not going to push myself now, i will be very hard for me when i'm out. the total course fee here is a 33K, lasalle's 17K. huge decision made eh. haha. i'm gonna spend 3 years paying off my debts after i graduate.

so in the meanwhile now, i'm doing research and preparations for my collection.

on a lighter note,

yesterday was a happy day because i collected my singapore bay run's tee and number tag.

yesterday was a happy day because i bought two 5 bucks bods.bodynits sports bra at a warehouse sale.

yesterday was a happy day because i went out with dear and i bought 3 FBT shorts for running (cheap!) and we ate very nice japanese food.

today was a happy day because i went to nike training run in the morning and completed 8km in 52 mins.

today was a happy because... hmm... our table tennis got silver medal !

btw, speaking about table tennis and olympics, i remembered how crazy i was 4 years ago about it, glueing to the tv all day and not studying for prelims. haha. and i was crazy about the whole susilo-ljw thingy, so silly man. haha. great that they break in the end, fairy tales are not suppose to last, haha. oh, and i saw zhang yining on tv today (duh), she is still as shuai as 4 years ago, haha. the way she plays table tennis is simply so awwwww...
well, i think i should stop, or else i could keep blabbering for ages, haaha.

gd night !

eugenio recuenco !

2008-08-08T00:59:00.006+08:00

sigh. such great works. such great art.

i love eugenio recuenco ! he's such a genius, i felt looking at his photography is like looking at a painting, like its trying to tell you something. and its beautifully beautifully shot. some of his shot have a touch of Renaissance and Baroque painting feel, which is totally awesome.

sigh. how i hope all fashion shoots could turn out this way instate of pointless, meaningless, superficial shoots.

shooooooooooes !

2008-08-05T23:33:00.001+08:00

Was greeted by this at my doorstep in the late afternoon.

I didn't expect it to arrive so early ! its barely a week since i placed the orders ! well, gojane's shoes are really comfy, sizing accurate and best of all, worth the price ! its a pity i didn't get more orders, or else it would be cheaper !

so anyway, this is my pair of wellington boots.

and corrine's 5.5 inches heels are super gorgeous ! there's another pair of oxford flats that corrine's sister bought but the size is too big for her, which i loved which i could wear, and i'm going to buy it from her.

2008-08-02T22:05:00.002+08:00

prepare for some neo print attack from the cutest couple again ! ha !

the human race part I

2008-07-27T22:45:00.003+08:00

today was training for the nike plus human race at clarke quay ! quite fun actually. woke up at 5am !

well, i'm not in a good form today though, caused by WWn (world war the n time) at home last night which made me skipped dinner, which equals to i only had one meal yesterday, and it in turn caused my gastric pain during the run.

i've got to promise myself to eat proper meals and eat more nutritious food ! if not i got no strength to run. haha. so pls if anyone goes out with me, force me to eat !!

gym gym gym !

2008-07-25T01:23:00.002+08:00

my life is getting very mundane. duh. till i don't know what to blog about. i've been sitting at home for almost 3 months....

well, back to today. waited for ser to meet me up for gym in the morning... so while waiting...

i weighted myself on the scale, omg, i dropped to 41kg. one thing i couldn't understand, my tummy is getting fatter and the rest of my body is getting more and more skinny. which i totally hate. i look like a malnutrition african kid, those with very big tummy.

see the different? ha. my shoulder bone can contain water le lar.

and i took a pic of myself without make up plus hair all pinned up (that's how i'm like when i go running) and i realize my features actually didn't change much since secondary school ! its only the makeup, styling and the hair that makes ppl don't recognize me. haha.

actually i do look very different before and after makeup.

out and ready to meet ser...

gym was great. i ran on a new treadmill ! yippie. at first still can't figure out how to use. ha. but i don't like the fact that public gym's treadmill stop at the 20th min. ultimate sian-ness. the rest was okay, usually routines of work outs.

off to bed now.

good night !

2008-07-20T00:52:00.000+08:00

yesterday was a day out with ser ! quite a slack day, went textile center, lunch at B Bakery and then down to Mission.

Today, is damn tiring. woke up at 8plus. accompanied sis to DSA(direct school admission) for Nanyang Girls High. Gymnastic audition from 10 to 11 and written paper from 1230 to 530. chill out at holland village with ql and dear while waiting.
final conclusion? singaporean are damn kiasu. i think more then 500 pupils went for the DSA, so many people ! fyi, its not free, must pay 80 bucks okay.

2008-07-17T21:09:00.005+08:00

not my hair. how can it be ? i don't have that much hair. haaha.

went to did my hair with ql last week. and i'm damn happy she cut her hair, short.

before...

after...

my very patient dear waited for us for 3hrs. afterwhich, we went to waraku for dinner.

the udon is super delicious !

wanted to watch Red Cliff after dinner, but by the time we reach the cinema, all tics were sold out. so the 3 of us + alfred went to tcc and chill. after tcc was pool, don't ask me why i'm there, i'm not the one that wanted to play.

all in all, the day ended at 2.30am. it was the first time i had reach home so late... yar, call me outdated or whatever. but please do not ask me out late the next time, i seriously am a daytime person. (look at my eyebags then you'll know !)

2008-07-08T19:11:00.003+08:00

*we are still madly in love. haha !

-----
i went to the dentist today. sigh. here goes 123.05 bucks. that's why i hate to visit private dentist. freaking expensive ! but no choice as the polyclinic one at tpy was down for renovation and my tooth urgently need to be filled for bites chipped off.

sigh. sigh. sigh.

Miss Singapore Sweetheart Queen is my bestie !!!

2008-07-06T19:23:00.010+08:00

Omg, i'm so proud of ser lar. although we all knew she would win right from the beginning. haha.
yesterday was a crazy day !!!! woke up at 9am and cabbed down to tampines courts with ser.

i was horrified when i saw her hair as she previously told me they are letting her hair down. luckily it turned out fine.

did her make up and all,

took a photo with her just before we went down for the show.

and and ! me and ql went to print an A1 poster of ser. cos there's barely any supporters for ser during preview and semi, who know's ta-da, finals we got a damn big poster ! haha, won all the other contestant's supporters. and you shld see how we scream and shout and cheer.

while waiting for ser to come down to take pic with us, we took pic with her life size poster. haha !

and pardon my shagged look, was running up and down and multi tasking- make up artist + stylist + PA + cheerleader ! haha !

i just realized we are all wearing different colours.

next up is a overdose of our sweetheart queen photos:

during the preview.

i forgot to take another pic with this panda this time round ! or was it still there??

Ser is so pretty right ! no one in the pageant can even fight with her except the 1st runner up. haha.
seriously, this pageant is an eye opener for me. to see so many bu yao lian people. wahahaha ! shall not go into details on it, had been bitching with the rest none stop after the pageant !

oh yar, other then Miss Singapore Sweetheart Queen, ser also won the titles of Miss Courts Ambassador and Miss Kata Personality. And she will replace Jamie Yeo and appear in Courts Advert lar !!! i'm so excited about that lo, next time i can point to the advert and tell people she's my bestie. haha !

the last goodbye.

2008-07-01T02:12:00.014+08:00

my yeye(爷爷) passed away on last monday morning.
i said my last "yeye, byebye" on saturday night before leaving the hospital with my sis. he was half conscious, but he heard me biding farewell.

i was never close to him, although i spent a lot of my childhood in the shop with him around. the only words that i usually said to him was calling him "yeye" in the morning and "yeye, bye bye" at the end of the day.

all these years, i heard and saw a lot of stuff about him, living in this big family of mine was never that easy.
i knew, i was never even near to "one of his favourite grandchildren" list. i was neither smart nor did i inherit his character.
i knew he wanted to transfer me out of beatty to a better sch years ago and don't understand why my mum let me took fashion design. he told my aunt last year, "tingting would have graduate with A levels by this time if she had went into jc".

perhaps, the only thing that might had made him proud was my passion for running ( he was a marathon runner even up to his 70s).

i remembered, the closest we ever been was during sec 1 when i taught him how to use computer. i must admit he was a fast learner for a 77 years old then.

sigh. i never knew its so hard to say goodbye.

the following is an eulogy written by my 15 years old cousin in the states, i recited the translated chinese version on the day of cremation.

The Last Goodbye

I remember when I was whole, empty of sorrow,

Taking everything for granted,

Then you left for a better place,

To reach your higher ground.

I couldn’t say goodbye,

Neither can I speak to you anymore,

But I know you are still there waiting,

For me to reach my higher ground.

This is my last goodbye to Gong Gong. I’m sorry I can’t be there, but if I could, this is what I would say.

Thank you for everything you’ve done for me. You were a brother, a father, a husband and a grandfather for us all. I’m sure everyone here has a story on how Gong Gong has touched our lives. He shared countless good memories with me, his favorite Ben Chin (yeah, laugh). I can remember one of the most recent things we did together.

Two years ago, we went to Nanjing and Suzhou. We had a small tour around eastern China. We both shared the same interest and we both asked the tour guide about the same things. Along with the questions, he told me about his stories. Even though some of his stories were boring, I still enjoyed the experience we had.

Gong Gong was a very strong man, in both ways, mentally and physically. He was really caring and he always questioned me about my studies. Sometimes it would become very repetitive, but I knew that he meant well.

He was also really physically fit. Everyone has a game that they play, and his was running. If he couldn’t run, he would walk. He invited me into his game by bringing me to the track every Sunday morning. After that, I got rewarded even more with a trip to KFC for porridge. I think I have found my game, and even though it isn’t running, I inherited his determination and I am able to play at his level.

Another fond memory I have about him was the enjoyment I had when I rode at the back of his pick-up truck. I recall always asking him to bring me with him whenever he was going to breakfast. My mum would always worry that I would fall off the back of his truck and would always try to tell Gong Gong not to let me sit at the back. Thank goodness, he never listened to her!

In 2003, he came to Eden Prairie to visit. We went to Lake Minnetonka to go fishing. We went out on a pontoon and started fishing. After 15 minutes or so, a fish bit his line. We pulled it up, and it was a bullhead catfish. In the next hour, he caught another bullhead, but I on the other hand, caught nothing. I thought again, the fishes were biting his line; he must have had a special way to do this.

A week after the fishing, we started making some homemade candy. At that time, it was the middle of summer and it was really hot, about 37 celsius everyday. We had to roll the candy outside, and even in the blistering sun, and with the annoying bees, he still helped us. That batch of candy was the toughest candy I have ever eaten, but it was the best.

In his own way, he was able to show us how important he was to us. We may no longer see him on earth, but we are blessed with these great moments that we have shared with him. We will always have a place for him in our hearts. I am very thankful that I have such a great person as my Gong Gong.

Your image in the dictionary,

Your life was more than ordinary,

Can’t stop the spirits when they need you,

Your life was more than just a read-thru.

最后的道别

回忆起那无忧无虑的我，
总把事事当成必然，
您此时却走入完美的他乡，
前往属于您的高原。

没及时与您道别，
再也无法与您细谈，
然而我知您在那遥远的他乡，
等待我登上属于我的高山。

这是我给公公最后的道别。很遗憾我无法亲临。如果能在，这是我想对公公说的 – 谢谢您为我做的一切。

他是我们的兄长，父亲，丈夫，与慈爱的公公。我想这里所有的人都曾被他感动。他与我分享了无数美好的回忆；如他最喜欢的Ben Chin （你们尽管笑吧）。记得跟公公最近做的一件事，是去年一起到南京与苏州旅游。我们旅途中有着共同的兴趣，问导游同样的问题。每个问题背后，公公都会讲述关于他的故事。虽然有些故事有些乏味，但他无数的经历却也让我雀跃万分。

公公的精神力量是强盛的。他非常关心我，常常督促我学习。虽然有时有些唠叨，但我知道这都是为我好。公公也很强壮。每个人都有他喜欢的运动，而公公擅长的是跑步。他即使跑累了也继续步行，不像那些精力充沛却懒得动的人。公公每个星期日早上都会带我去操场跑步。之后还带我去KFC呢！从公公的坚持我也找到了我喜欢的运动，虽然不是跑步，但他把他的那份坚持遗留了给我，让我也能像他一样不屈不挠。
另一个让我回味无穷的经历是他让我乘他的卡车。我会常要他出外吃早餐时让我乘他的卡车。这让我觉得我额外得到他的宠爱。

2003年，他到Eden Prairie 来探望我。我们到Minnetonka钓鱼去。在浮桥上才不过15分钟公公就有鱼上钩。我们一起把一头大头鲶鱼捞了上来。半个钟后，他又抓到一只！而我却一无所获。公公钓鱼也真有办法！过了一周后，我们一起制糖果。当时是炎热的夏日，气温都在37摄氏度。然而我们必须在烧人肌肤的室外卷着糖果，还有那可恶的蜜蜂呢！公公也不怕辛苦，陪我们一起干。虽然这是最难制作的一批糖果，却也是我这一生吃到最好吃的！

公公纵然没有表现过，但从他的举止，还是让我们感受到他在我们心里有多重要。就算已经没法再见到他了，他留给我们的种种回忆就像是他深深的祝福。他永远常伴我们心中。我们很庆幸有这样一位伟大的公公！

字典里您的影像，
您非凡的生命，
您不被阻挠的扶助，
您的一生远远超越文字所能记载

miss chong's birthday !

2008-06-14T14:23:00.011+08:00

firstly, i must say planning qilin's birthday is tedious for me and ser, cause, both of us are so fickle minded. haha.
from plan A to plan B to plan C. and all are damn last minute. next time don't put the both of us tgt to plan. haha.

firstly, we meet ql at plaza sing, then blindfolded her to take cab. blindfolding her was damn troublesome.

1) in the cab blindfolded while talking on the phone.
2) is her that want to take pic with me.
3) while waiting for the boat at singapore river.

and and ! she is damn noisy on the cab, keep talking to the driver but the driver very cooperative never reply her at all !!!!

on the boat. the bian dang that me, ser and lao made for her.

next was dinner at sun with moon restaurant at the central.

evidence that i'm too indulged in eating then to take note people are taking photos with me.

this is too funny, i'm laughing like mad.
i think the whole restaurant was too amused by us. haha !

mercy's birthday part two

2008-06-13T23:15:00.003+08:00

before i upload miss chong's birthday celebration, here's mercy's outdated birthday pics.

super blur pic of me and dear.

the neoprints.
too bad we lost it at galare. damn. but luckily mercy did took photos of it while decorating.

2008-06-11T03:23:00.006+08:00

just came back from chong qilin's birthday celebration.
so fun and funny.
will update on it when i receive all the pics.

went east coast with dear on monday,
here...

good night !

why do birds suddenly appear, every time you are near...

2008-06-08T01:58:00.004+08:00

i found this in my drawer while packing my room few days ago ! it was christmas 2006 at zhimin's house. oh my, i look so sweet. haha. so typical girl next door, almost can't recognize myself. and was it the flash or am i that oh my god freaking fair during that time?

these two weeks was fairly boring. been reading, watch youtubes, swimming, jogging, k box. oh, and badminton with dear just now.

completed reading this.
hasn't got a chance to read this till recently as it's always not available when i wanted to borrow (had been eyeing it since sec 4).
anyway, i strongly recommend it. its quite a friendly book to those that are not in good terms with history books. especially we chinese, how many of you actually knows the nanking massacre? and for me that knows the event for almost a decade, reading the book was completely different experience, i'm much baffled by what actually happened to those people. and very disgusted by the japanese army.
so, for once put down those bimbo books and read smtg more meaningful.

for those that has no idea of the above mentioned historical event, clink here

2008-05-25T01:15:00.002+08:00

Went for a run at the trail at braddell during evening. Hasn’t been there for ages. And due to pure laziness, I took 153 down, haha (but I did walk back from there !) .

Anyway, I ran 6km today ! so shiok, from braddell to bishan and back, braddell to potong pasir and back. Hasn’t run such long distance for a long long time, clocked 37 mins. Not very good though.

And so, I walked back after the jog. Passed a lot of memorable places. The path that I took every morning while rushing to school during sec four, the traffic light that I used to jay walk even though I’m damn scare to jay walk (but I’m going to be late for sch so no choice), the path that we used to jog for 2.4km every pe lesson and beatty which I’ve not went back for 2 years(even the 2 times I’ve went back was too chaotic to have memories flashing back).

Sigh. I think I’m growing old.

On a lighter note…

the fat meow meow that dominate my void deck. she is lazily (as always) having her afternoon nap at her favourite spot, which is just in between the 2 lift. and i swear the 2 pics are taken on two different day. haha.

some updates

2008-05-20T00:31:00.004+08:00

yeah, i know, i've been pretty lazy again, doing nothing at home and not updating frequently.
but last week was a busy one !
monday was shopping for mercy's present and tuesday was mercy's birthday. its very very fun though.

some pics that are found in my phone. tons of funny ones in mercy's camera though.

last friday there's this house on fire next to mine and dear's block (his block is 2 o'clock position next to mine in case you don't know. ) we were going into his house after swimming, that's when dear saw smoke coming out from the next block. and so, i followed him up to the unit that's on fire, where we found a malay auntie standing outside the burning house. anyway, this is the first time i saw fireman fighting fire ! haha. and so happening can ! after we went down, so the void deck was crowded with aunties uncles, one auntie even have her head full of curlers ! the most hilarious part is with so many things going on, a chij girl got molested ! so happening, imagine with policeman, firefighter and reporters running around.

well, the whole of last week i was also stuck to channel 49, 50 and 52. following news of the sichuan's earthquake. sigh.
how could i describe the twinge of heartache i felt? and the sense of guiltiness knowing that i'm enjoying and being very happy during the 30hrs after the tragedy happened

gathering with besties

2008-05-12T01:57:00.005+08:00

i'm such a lazy pig

2008-05-09T00:35:00.002+08:00

*time check* oh my, its friday alr !!! can't believe i rotted at home for a consistent of four days.
haha.
and why is this so? cos yours truly is a wonderful elder sister that fetches her younger sis from sch and stayed at home with her just because she is having her mid year exam.

can someone pls stop me from hooking on to the internet? i think i've been using too much of it. i wanna start my readings, argh.... borrowed a book abt greek civilization and the rape of nanking a few days back. so excited to read both lar. okay, i'm going to shut down this thing can go read it NOW. haha.

2008-05-04T23:23:00.005+08:00

looking through that video again and again makes me misses that messy filthy seat of mine in 4e3. sigh. time flies...

anyw, Mission (my cousin's salon), is having a promotion till the 15th of may, colouring of hair at 48 dollars regardless of length. text me if any of you wanna make an appointment.

yesterday was a day out with dear, went to downtown east for his colleague's birthday.
caught iron man at ehub before going to the chalet.

memories...

2008-05-03T02:56:00.003+08:00

recently i dug out an ancient video of what i call the most notorious(and the most hilarious) period of my life.

am uploading the video up to youtube.
to people that appeared inside, don't complaint that i loaded an ugly you up, cause i did include ugly me in it ! so we are quits. haha !

ta-da.

i'll always have a good laugh whenever i watch this. i regret not taking a picture of a close up view of the toaster and heater !

uncertainness

2008-04-27T23:41:00.005+08:00

looks like there's quite a number of people that are uncertain of their future during this period of time.
sigh.
i used to think that i'm very certain about my future, all the way since secondary three. i had an idea of becoming a fashion designer when i'm 10, decided that i will go to lasalle to take fashion after O level when i'm 15. and now, after so many years, and at the last lap of the race to my dream career, i wonder, is it what i really want?

fashion, is something i came to realize, a very marketing and business-ish thing.
and i'm nothing of the above but an artist. sigh.
i love to work my collection with concepts like art theories, philosophy, history, humanities and sociology.
but the fact is who really cares about such stuff? especially in singapore, the chances of getting a job as a fashion designer is almost certainly zero other then opening a label yourself. and the atmosphere in the fashion scene here, is... superficial? i just loathe it. its really hard to place your passion as a career. i guess we always place too high an expectation with our own passion, sadly.

but i guess i decided to continue my bachelor of arts in lasalle. one more year as a student and one more year to convince myself that i can manage to survive in fashion world (or one more year for my chance to struck lottery. ha).

well, enough of that.

today, me and dear went to SIA cabin crew interview, just for the fun of it ! (as we have nothing better to do, ha)
there were omfg lots of people. the queue was horrible. i don't wanna play along once i saw such a long queue but dear was like since we are here must well just stay. haha. it took a freaking 50 mins queue to hand in the application form and measure height (for the girls). and another one hour plus in another freaking room to wait for name to be called for the interview. in the end i didn't even have the patience to wait for my name to be called ( after one hour plus of waiting,omg !) as dear had done with his interview, so i heck care and just left. haha ! what a good way of wasting time. i got to list this as one of the top 10 rubbish thing that i did !

the right one was taken by my sis's new cellphone. i wish i was this fair, but i do look haggard when i'm fair. so i guess tan is just right for me. (:

a day out.

2008-04-25T00:13:00.005+08:00

a tired day out. shoot in the afternoon, did four faces with 2 looks each.

during the shoot when i'm done with the makeup.

after the shoot, dear came to meet up with me and we went to cathay for lunch/dinner. afterwhich, we when shopping around for a birthday gift for his friend. its been quite awhile since we stroll around town this way. and i finally bought my eternity moment after i had finished using my euphoria for so long.

all in all, i'm quite satisfied with today.

BUT, the wet weather ruin my jogging plan though. both yesterday evening and today morning ! i hope the weather tomorrow would be good. so i could jog with dear, its been a month since i last jog !

the smell of freedom

2008-04-23T12:35:00.005+08:00

a glimpse of my room when its up and messy.

this is the lowest record i had in years. its without food for 10hrs, without water for 3hrs and a 3 hrs sleep that day. but i'm back to 42.5kg now. these 3 days i've been pigging at home, sleep and eat and watch tv ! haha.
anyone wanna join me for the Singapore Bay Run???

i'm still wondering whether to join the competitive or the non competitive. competitive would be the 10km run and non competitive there's 10km and 6km. its on 24th august. and early bird registration ends on 30th april, so those wanna join me reply me asap k?
